THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



the east wing held the roses, carnations, and table decorations ; 

 the west wing the long-stemmed chrysanthemum blooms and most 

 of the groups of greenhouse foliage and flowering plants; and in 

 the Indian hall cut chrysanthemum blooms. 



As stated above, the display of bush chrysanthemum plants 

 was exceptional. While none of them was quite as large as the 

 largest ones of last year, the quality of most of them was superb, 

 and there were many more. Of all kinds there were twenty-four, 

 of which fifteen were large circular plants, nine in tubs over four- 

 teen inches in diameter, the remainder in the classes calling for 

 smaller tubs. The class for standards brought out three fine 

 specimens, and in that for odd-shaped plants six were exhibited : 

 three fan-shaped, two pillars, and one in the form of a small 

 steamboat.
